I’m generally a pretty humble person, but I’ve got to say, I’m patting myself on this back for this one.
I mean c’mon, what’s not to love???
- √A sundae for breakfast!
- √Peanut Butter + Chocolate
- √Absolutely delicious with the perfect sweet/salty, crunchy/creamy combination!

- And, it’s got a super nutritious “secret” ingredient, that’s high in fiber and protein, naturally gluten-free, and a good source of plant based iron, along with folate, potassium, and antioxidants. And, you’d never guess it was in there, unless I told you. Drumroll please….
Lentils! Frozen lentils to be exact.
How to Freeze Lentils {and Other Pulses} for Easy Meal Prep
- Cook dried lentils or other pulses according to instructions. Note: I used TruRoots Organic Sprouted Lentils which cook in 6 minutes-how easy is that?! Non-sprouted lentils will take a little longer to cook {20-30 minutes}, and beans and chickpeas will take even longer. To speed up cooking time, you can cook pulses in a pressure cooker. This is a great guide on how to cook pulses from Pulse Canada: Guide to Cooking beans, Chickpeas, Lentils & Peas.
- Drain the cooked lentils/pulses in a colander, and spread them out in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in your freezer for 3 to 4 hours, then place frozen lentils/pulses in plastic freezer bags or a glass freezer container to store
- Use frozen or defrost in the refrigerator, and drain any additional liquid before using in your recipe.
